I'm beginning to think that others have searched my family, found a skeleton, or rather a whole family of skeletons in the cupboard, and thrown the lot on the bonfire, never to be spoken about again!!! I seriously cannot be the only one searching my lot, surely?

Yes that's the thing; if I get an enquiry from someone about a person in my tree I ALWAYS reply and open my tree. Then... nothing. UUrrrggg

hi, i know what you mean , i get messages from people saying are you soand so / or do you know if your john is related to my john is he married to so and so . then when i answer i never get a reply i find it so frustrating hazelx

I know what you mean! My grandmother has unusual surname and comes from a very small area in Italy. I have never seen her surname anywhere but I found someone that had it in their tree and emailed her and got nothing back!!! I would have been so happy if someone had contacted me about it - its strange that others dont necessarily seem fussed! Ju x

You're not alone... lol I despair when I get my llist of Hot Matches; I plough through them, politely send emails and nearly always get nothing back. Sent loads about a week ago, 4 people have kindly replied. Oh well....

Why isn't anyone else researching the same people as me?! I have had so much help from people willing to do searches etc but so far have only found one link or one person willing to admit to it - lol! Is this usual??? Ju x
